    Release Notes for X11R6.8.2 The X.OrgFoundation The XFree86 Project, Inc. 9February 2005 Abstract These release notes contains information about features and their status in the X.Org Foundation X11R6.8.2 release. It is based on the XFree86 4.4RC2 RELNOTES docu- ment published by The XFree86™ Project, Inc. Thereare significant updates and dif- ferences in the X.Orgrelease as noted below. 1. Introduction to the X11R6.8.2 Release The release numbering is based on the original MIT X numbering system. X11refers to the ver- sion of the network protocol that the X Window system is based on: Version 11was first released in 1988 and has been stable for 15 years, with only upwardcompatible additions to the coreX protocol, a recordofstability envied in computing. Formal releases of X started with X version 9 from MIT;the first commercial X products werebased on X version 10. The MIT X Consortium and its successors, the X Consortium, the Open Group X Project Team, and the X.OrgGroup released versions X11R3 through X11R6.6, beforethe founding of the X.OrgFoundation. Therewill be futuremaintenance releases in the X11R6.8.x series. However,efforts arewell underway to split the X distribution into its modular components to allow for easier maintenance and independent updates. We expect a transitional period while both X11R6.8 releases arebeing fielded and the modular release completed and deployed while both will be available as different consumers of X technology have different constraints on deployment. Wehave not yet decided how the modular X releases will be numbered. We encourage you to submit bug fixes and enhancements to bugzilla.freedesktop.orgusing the xorgproduct, and discussions on this server take place on <[email protected]>.

    CULTIVATING OPEN INFORMATION PLATFORMS: A LAND TRUST MODEL MOLLY SHAFFER VAN HOUWELING* INTRODUCTION James Boyle has led a recent call for intellectual property “environmentalism”—a movement to fend off perceived threats to the public interest posed by expansions in the scope and term of intellectual property protection.1 Inspired in part by Boyle’s message, a number of organizations have sprung up that aspire to expand and cultivate the body of intellectual works that are not subject to proprietary control.2 The Internet’s original development as a non-proprietary in- formation platform is another source of inspiration for this incip- ient movement.3 The Internet is built on a suite of protocols— * Assistant Professor of Law, University of Michigan Law School.

    THINC: A Virtual and Remote Display Architecture for Desktop Computing and Mobile Devices Ricardo A. Baratto Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 c 2011 Ricardo A. Baratto This work may be used in accordance with Creative Commons, Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License. For more information about that license, see http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/. For other uses, please contact the author. ABSTRACT THINC: A Virtual and Remote Display Architecture for Desktop Computing and Mobile Devices Ricardo A. Baratto THINC is a new virtual and remote display architecture for desktop computing. It has been designed to address the limitations and performance shortcomings of existing remote display technology, and to provide a building block around which novel desktop architectures can be built. THINC is architected around the notion of a virtual display device driver, a software-only component that behaves like a traditional device driver, but instead of managing specific hardware, enables desktop input and output to be intercepted, manipulated, and redirected at will. On top of this architecture, THINC introduces a simple, low-level, device-independent representation of display changes, and a number of novel optimizations and techniques to perform efficient interception and redirection of display output. This dissertation presents the design and implementation of THINC. It also intro- duces a number of novel systems which build upon THINC's architecture to provide new and improved desktop computing services. The contributions of this dissertation are as follows: • A high performance remote display system for LAN and WAN environments.

Genau das Gegenteil ist richtig. Die weitaus meisten Fotos sind ‚Lügen‛ in dem Sinne, daß sie nicht vollkommen der Wirklichkeit entsprechen: sie sind zweidimensionale Abbildungen dreidimensionaler Objekte, Schwarzweißbilder farbiger Wirklichkeit, ‚starre‛ Fotos bewegter Objekte. … “ [Kan78] S. 54f Für Mama und Papa, of course.

  • Distributed Configuration Management: Mercurial CSCI 5828 Spring 2012 Mark Grebe Configuration Management
    Distributed Configuration Management: Mercurial CSCI 5828 Spring 2012 Mark Grebe Configuration Management Configuration Management (CM) systems are used to store code and other artifacts in Software Engineering projects. Since the early 70’s, there has been a progression of CM systems used for Software CM, starting with SCCS, and continuing through RCS, CVS, and Subversion. All of these systems used a single, centralized repository structure. Distributed Configuration Management As opposed to traditional CM systems, Distributed Configuration Management Systems are ones where there does not have to be a central repository. Each developer has a copy of the entire repository and history. A central repository may be optionally used, but it is equal to all of the other developer repositories. Advantages of Distributed Configuration Management Distributed tools are faster than centralized ones since metadata is stored locally. Can use tool to manage changes locally while not connected to the network where server resides. Scales more easily, since all of the load is not on a central server. Allows private work that is controlled, but not released to the larger community. Distributed systems are normally designed to make merges easy, since they are done more often. Mercurial Introduction Mercurial is a cross-platform, distributed configuration management application. In runs on most modern OS platforms, including Windows, Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, and Mac OSX. Mercurial is written 95% in Python, with the remainder written in C for speed. Mercurial is available as a command line tool on all of the platforms, and with GUI support programs on many of the platforms. Mercurial is customizable with extensions, hooks, and output templates.

These days, though, it’s all about having the slickest infotainment systems and most-connected cars. The shift in focus from what’s under the hood to what’s behind the dashboard has brought a largely covert war to the auto industry over the operating systems that will control these gadgets. As in the smartphone biz, the battle line is between proprietary and open source software. The outcome will determine what these systems look like, how they work and how distinctive they are as automakers embrace walled gardens or open ecosystems. It would be difficult to overstate the importance of getting this right. The amount of software in the average vehicle has grown exponentially — a typical new car has about 100 million lines of code — with the advent of sophisticated, cloud-connected infotainment systems. Software has become a competitive advantage as vital to General Motors or Toyota as it is to Apple or Google.

  • There Are Two Dedicated Dspace IRC (Internet Relay Chat) Channels (I.E
    IRC Code of Conduct All DSpace support channels, mailing lists and meetings follow the LYRASIS Code of Conduct. We ask you to remain respectful in all discussions. We also encourage you to report any violations of the code of conduct to LYRASIS (see the Code of Conduct for more details). DSpace chat has moved to Slack Our old IRC channels are essentially unmonitored these days. Instead, we recommend joining our DSpace.org Slack for any chat-based support. You are also welcome to email your question to the dspace-tech Mailing List as an alternative, or choose one of the other DSpace Sup port options. There are two dedicated DSpace IRC (internet relay chat) channels (i.e. "rooms") on the irc.freenode.net server: #dspace (irc://irc.freenode.net/dspace) - all DSpace discussions and live Q & A. This channel is unlogged. #duraspace (irc://irc.freenode.net/duraspace) - Old duraspace community channel (no longer used). As of July 2018, this channel is unlogged. Pri or years logs are still available/archived. If you do not have access to an IRC client, or are new to IRC, the following web interfaces are very easy way to get started: Login to #dspace IRC at: http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=dspace Enter in a nickname of your choice (e.g. firstName_lastName) & click "Connect" Login to #duraspace IRC at: http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=duraspace Enter in a nickname of your choice (e.g. firstName_lastName) & click "Connect" Or you can login to both IRC channels at the same time: http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=duraspace,dspace For a list of IRC client software, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients Many current Instant Messaging (IM) clients also support IRC.

  • Linux Automotive Security “Safer and More Secure”
    Linux Automotive Security “Safer and more secure” Authors Fulup Ar Foll [email protected] José Bollo [email protected] Abstract Cars are expensive pieces of equipment, yet they represent a huge mass market. Adding Internet connectivity to previous elements generates perfect conditions for the growth of a viable business model on attacking “Connected Cars”. It is already well understood that cars will be connected and connected cars will be attacked. While it's still too early to predict with certainty how “Connected Cars” will be impacted by security flaws, making the assumption that a car should be at least as secure as a TV, a set-top-box or a smart phone should make sense to everyone. This white paper focuses on how Linux best practices security mechanisms that could be used today and within the next couple of years to make connected cars safer and more secure.

ISSN 1046-1105 2 AGL Will Be Overtaken by Android Automotive The Linux Foundation just picked up another new member to work on its Automotive Grade Linux project, the collaborative open source effort to develop a common platform that can serve as a de facto standard for infotainment, telematics and instrument cluster applications. Volkswagen joined earlier this month. Thus far 130 members have signed onto the project; 30 members signed up in 2018. There is much to recommend AGL. The AGL Unified Code Base platform provides 70% of the starting point for a production project, including operating system, middleware and application framework. “If AGL can establish itself as a true automotive platform, suppliers will have a common set of interfaces their suppliers can write to,” said Tim VanGoethem, vice president of Advanced Mobility Solutions at Harman X, the company’s innovation taskforce. “Instead of paying people to write software on your behalf, you can take advantage of what has been done already and just license it to use in your final product.” Toyota and the Linux Foundation launched AGL in 2012 and thus far only Toyota has gone on record to say that it is committed to the platform.
